Will someone that starts in phase 2 or 3 still be able to do the quest 10 Icicle from phase1?

From what I can tell, the answer to this appears to be 'no'. I didn't bother with the first week's quest on a couple of my alts, thinking I'd catch up this week and that doesn't appear to be an option.

Rather unfair, given that you need 30 of the dark icicles to get anything.

sadly thats true esp when even patrons are getting slammed with this paywall.

Huh?

Week 1
Log character in.
Get quest from NPC in home city.
Spend all of 2 minutes to complete it.
Collect 10 icicles.

Week 2
Log character in.
Get quest from NPC in home city.
Spend all of 2 minutes to complete it.
Collect 10 icicles.

Week 3
Log character in.
Get quest from NPC in home city.
Spend all of 2 minutes to complete it.
Collect 10 icicles.

So, if you spend 6 minutes per alt, over the space of three weeks, you'll have 30 icicles on them. You farm all the snowflakes on your main, send the flakes to alts, alts buy stuff, send it back to your main... with the only exception to this being the 65 hit necks, which are BoP.

So, essentially you're complaining that for a little bit of playing the game you get a free raid tier 1 necklace, and the possibility of mounts and a dimension?

I'm wondering how many Dark Icicle quests there'll be - so far there's only been one in each phase, giving 10 icicles each time. If this remains true for phase 3, anyone who missed the first phase won't actually be able to buy any of the items that require the icicles as currency, because the first quest is no longer active in phase 2.

I don't think anyone is complaining about the little time the quests actually take, simply that if you didn't do the week 1 quest (for whatever reason), you're now screwed as far as getting 30 dark icicles goes.

No more that the fact that if you miss 1 week due to ohhhh i dunno it being xmas visiting family etc you are pretty much borked.

Same happened to me, was only in the country for the 1st day of week 1. Got the icicles on my main but none of my alts. Now I can't buy any top items for my alts. I think Trion should make the parts of the story quest available in all weeks of the event.
